You see, I'm a big fan of the horror movie The Thing. Now my brother tells me there is a fan fic adapting The Thing into MLP, with Twilight Sparkle and all the rest. Now I can't decide if I want to read it or not. I mean, I'm a massive fan of the movie, but that means I pretty much know how it's gonna play out for the mane 6 (not well at all). My brother's reading it, so I also don't want to be less brave than him.

Gah.

I say don't, because everybody dies at the end. That is kind of depressing to do with the Mane 6.

Also that movie is awesome!

Edit: hey, I wrote a fan fic for the two-year anniversary of MLP: FiM this October 10th. I'd like some feedback on it before I try submitting to Equestria Daily (my worthy foe!). Anyone interested in giving it a read?

Re: My Little Pony

My brother and I have been having discussions on, adapting Wizard of Oz into pony, who would be who. I think Applejack should be Dorothy, since she's already a farmgirl with a dog (Winona). However, my brother thinks Applejack would be the Scarecrow, and Twilight would be Dorothy.

well I know who will be the cowardly lion. Has to be Fluttershy.I agree with Twilight as Dorothy, and Spike as Toto.then Applejack as the scarecrow because she needs brains for those fancy mathematics.and I don't know who needs a heart. maybe Pinkie as Pinkamena? or possibly Rainbow Dash.

That would be cool! I wouldn't mind some of those, though I still would prefer plushies!

I would love either one, if they are model on the show's characters designs! That is one of the reasons I have never gotten any of the toys is because of how odd they look.

I see Twilight more as a Glinda-like character, being a farm girl, Applejack would make a good Dorothy.

Cranky Doodle needs a heart, Derpy needs a brain and the CMC are the munchkins.

Would Fluttershy be the Cowardly Lion, or Big Mac? Would Luna be the Wicked Witch or would Chrysalis be? If it is Chrysalis, her changelings could be the flying monkeys. The diamond dogs would have to be the Winkies.

Re: My Little Pony

Huh, I pictured Celestia as the Glinda-figure. But all those others you list, Radio, I agree with.

Re: My Little Pony

Also, Gilda could be thrown in. She could use a heart, or her meanness could be a cover for her lack of bravery. Anger hides fear after all. This is of course if you want to use characters other than the Mane 6 for the main cast of Oz.

Agreeeed~ If these are legit, and aren't going to cost a small fortune to purchase, I will definitely be getting some once they arrive. All of the toys they've released thus far are far more reminiscent of previous iterations of the series, and I just don't care for them. But if they actually start making some show-accurate G4 figures, I'd be all over that. :3

On the topic of Wizard of Oz, I just can't see Applejack being Dorothy, if I'm honest. Besides being a "farm girl", she's nothing at all like Dorothy; and even on that note, Dorothy wasn't really a "farm girl" so much as an "I-Live-On-A-Farm girl". Could you imagine her character doing a single day's worth of real farm labor? Not a chance.

My vote would be on Twilight as Dorothy, and Celestia is practically perfect for the part of Glinda. Both being the wise, benevolent rulers of the land, they're essentially the same character in their respective worlds.

Aside from that, I like all of Radio's suggestions. And I think Fluttershy would make a better Lion than Big Mac or Gilda. Mac isn't really cowardly; he's just not a big talker. And Gilda, while a great contender for a re-imagining of the story, is just too hot-headed for a direct conversion of the original story.

Mac could ask the wizard for a larger vocabulary, and Gilda could ask for anger management that is not court ordered.

If Derpy is the scarecrow, I keep thinking back to the "Futurama" riff on Oz.

"You could use a brain."

"Aww! Why do people keep saying that?"

I loved that episode! Man, if I had any ability in video editing, I'd put that line over a scene of Derpy talking.
